Fireplace is very pretty. Lots of different colors of flames and rocks.  It fits securely into the wall.  Especially if wall is 2 x 6. Not was easy to install as you'd think.  I hired an electrician and he added two junction boxes for the fireplace and TV as I wanted no wires to be exposed.  Still learning this unit. Not sure if you can control heat settings with remote.  I would say expect a cost of $400 to install at least.  If inserted into the wall,  it needs to be framed out first.
